IONTOPHORESIS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| are ions stable? | no ions are not stable |
| what does phoresis mean? | through the skin |
| what is iontophoresis? | taking ions and putting them into the body through thee skin |
| is iontophoresis non invasive or invasive? | it is noninvasive. it is applied topically |
| what type of current is iontophoresis? | it is a direct current |
| why does it matter where you place the electrode for iontophoresis? | because it is a direct current the flow of electrons depends on where you palce the electrodes |
| are ions + or -? | ions can be ether + or - |
| opposites________ & likes _________. | opposites attract and likes repel |
| what is used to treat inflammation? | dexamethozone sodium phosphate. |
| is dexamethosone sodium phosphate - or +? | it is negative |
| what is dexamethosone sodium phosphate used to treat clinically? | bursitis, tendonitis, and other muscle inflammation |
| what type of electrode configuration set up is iontophoresis? | it is a monoploar setup. it uses one channel and 2 electrodes 1 is active and the other is not |
| how many mA does iontophoresis use? | any where fro 1 -4 mA |
| what is the treatment time for iontophoresis? | any where from 10 - 40 minutes long depending on what the patient can handle the mA being turned up to. 4 mA=10 min 3mA=13 min 2mA=20 min 1mA=40 min |
| what is the strength of field? | how many mA you can tolerate to push the ions into the body |
| what is resistance? | hair fat oils dirt |
| the quanity of ions across the body is..... | directly proportioned to the current density |
| if the current density is highy (small electrode) then what will the quantity of ions going into the body be? | it will be high as well |
| to increase the current density you | decrease the size of the electrode |
| to decrease the current density you | increase the size of the electrode |
| which electrode is larger? | the dispersive because it is sending the current back to the machine |
| which electrode is smaller? | the charge electrode because it is sending the current into thebody |
| as the treatment duration increases the skins resistance.... | decrases because of permeability |
| as treatment duration increases there is an increased risk for.... | burns because of the decrase in resistance of the skin |
| for iontophoresis is it better to use less mA and greater time or less time with greater mA? | better to use greater mA with less time to decrease the burn risk |
| what are the indications for iontophoresis? | pain, inflammation,lfungus,gout ect.. |
| what are the contraindications for iontophoresis? | decreased sensation, pregnancy, cancer, pacemaker, over metal, alergic to medication (ion) |
| dexamethosone sodium phosphate | negative for inflammation |
| copper | positive for fungus |
| lidocane | positive for pain |
